According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, someone broke into the concession stand at the park sometime between 9:30 p.m. Sunday and 3:30 p.m. Monday.

Authorities say the vandals broke in through a window and stole cooper wire and extension cords from the stand. Ceiling tiles and air conditioning ductwork were also destroyed, and black spray paint was used to paint graffiti on the door.

They also smashed a trophy case, broke office furniture, and took a sledge hammer to the door of the press box.

The park is mostly used by the community's youth football and cheer teams.

"Have we made anybody mad? You know the answer is 'No.' We do have issues from time to time, but nothing like this. I mean, this is just an out vandalism and from the information police gave me last night, the fingerprints and all, they think it's kids," said park board member Renee Alley.

JCSO estimates $9,300 worth of damage.

Alley said thieves also hit the park in March, stealing food and breaking windows.

Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office at 205-481-4210.
